The UCLA Transfusion Medicine Service Laboratory provides standard and specialized blood components for transfusion, compatibility testing for recipients, and diagnostic testing to evaluate immune hemolytic anemias, transfusion reactions and alloimmunization to red cell, platelet, or white blood cell antigens. In addition to providing ongoing transfusion medicine education through lectures, in-service programs, and clinical rotations, we also offer a 24-hour consultation service for transfusion-related problems and questions.

To help ensure a safe and adequate supply of blood components for UCLA Healthcare patients, the UCLA Blood and Platelet Center collects ~30,000 whole blood and platelet donations per year. Services provided at the center include whole blood and apheresis collections, as well as autologous and directed donor programs. The Center also organizes approximately 250 mobile blood drives annually throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
